Sir. At the solicitation of Andrew Dunlap of Reading in the County of Windsor, I presume to enclose to the War-Department sundry papers relating to his pension. The Roll of the "New York Agency" will show that his name has been thereon, for many years since his removing to Vermont. In consequence, some expense and more delay and trouble have attended the obtaining his payments at New York, than his circumstances can well bear. From lapse of time, his original certificate is destroyed and to this fact he makes oath. His petition is, to be placed on the Vermont agency by which a considerable saving will be made. Should the transfer be proper, his friends do not doubt the readiness of the Department, in so directing and, for the favor, will feel all the sentiments which become them.
Very respectfully Yours & S r Carlos Coolidge

Pension Dept.,
I wish to obtain some information regarding Andrew Dunlap of New York state. He was a sergeant in Capt. Jacob Wright's company in the Second (I am not sure as to the number) New York Regiment command- ed by Philip Van Cortland in the Revolutionary War. Is there any record of his enlisting in this company? and did he

afterwards draw a pension? I understand he applied for a pension in 1786. Any information you can give me will be gladly received.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Esther Horton
